Rally To Restore Sanity

The Seattle version of comedian John Stewart's Rally To Restore Sanity is happening this Saturday. It's a parody of political protest, but the organizers say they're sending a serious message too: that sane, calm discussion is better than shrill, angry shouting. We'll check in with organizers and talk to a guest who says hostility, bias, and intemperateness also have a place in democracy. What do you think? Are you planning to attend the Rally to Restore Sanity?
